More Bond Elections.

The people up the river are determiu-
ed to have railroads: Last Friday the
board of county commissioners were
called together in special session for
the purpose of listening to petitions
from Mingona and Lake City town.
ships, asking that those townships be
given the opportunity of voting aid to
the Chicago, Kansas & Western rail-
road 1.-THE extension of the Southern
Kansas from this city west).
After examining the petitions care
fully, the commissioners ordered spec
ial elections in Mingona and Lake City
townships for Wednesday, March I'd,
when Mingona township will vote on
the proposition to subscribe $4,000 in
bonds and Lake City SIS, 900 to the cap
ital stock of the Chicago, Kansas q
Western railroad. The sheriff's proc
lamatiOn for Mingona township APP

These are the propositions mentioned
last week in these columns. They
were not mentioned or even thought OF,
t@1llll llO hctilOdo dLlu
handle company asked for aid in the
townships west of here.
What will be the effect of calling the
last elections, remains to be seen.
They are to be week later than the
Kansas and Panhandle elections; but
that may not save the bonds of the
latter. The townships can vote but
one lot of bonds, and the great ques-
ton now is which lot will the people
vote.
We believe the intelligent people of
Mingona and Lake City townships
know their own business, and we shall
not attempt to influence them one way
or the other, further than to suggest
that the Southern Kansas road will be
extended west, bonds or no bonds.
The Kansas and Panhandle will not be
built through the Medicine valley I'M
less the line of township aid already
asked, is voted.
